– lock/unlock the rear doors or the
tailgate;
– lock/unlock the side doors, Cargo
versions only;
– deactivate the passenger’s airbag.
The key B, with a built-in remote
control, has the same functions as key
Ain vehicles with door lock remote
control.
The CODE card fig. 3is also sup-
plied with the keys and bears the fol-
lowing:
a- the electronic code to be used for
emergency starting (see “Emergency
start-up” in section “In an emer-
gency”);b- the mechanical key code to be
given to the Fiat Dealershipwhen
ordering duplicate keys.
Keep the CODE card in a safe place.
Make sure you have the electronic
code of the CODE card with you at all
times in the event you have to per-
form an emergency start-up.
OPERATION
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, or PARK, the protection
system will automatically immobilise
the engine.
When the key is turned to MARto
start the engine:
1)if the code is recognised the ¢
(Y) warning light on the instrument
panel will flash briefly; this means the
protection system has recognised the
key code and deactivates the immo-
biliser, turn the key to AVV, and the
engine will start.
2)If the warning light ¢(Y) stays
on, the code was not recognised. In
this case, turn the key to STOPand
then back to MAR. If the engine re-mains immobilised, try with the oth-
er key provided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, use the emergency starting pro-
cedure (see “In an emergency”) and
take your vehicle to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
When the vehicle is travelling and the
key is at MAR:
1)if the warning light ¢(Y) comes
on while the vehicle is moving, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (e.g. due to a voltage drop).
2)if the warning light ¢(Y) flash-
es, the vehicle is not protected by the
engine immobiliser. Contact a Fiat
Dealershipimmediately and get them
to store the codes of all the keys in the
memory.
IMPORTANT The electronic com-
ponents inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is subjected to sharp
knocks.
IMPORTANTEach key provided
with the vehicle has its own code, dif-
ferent from all the others, which must
be stored in the memory of the sys-
tem control unit.

EOBD engine control system
failure
Under normal conditions, turning the
ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go out as soon
as the engine is started. The initial
turning on indicates that the warning
light is working properly. If the warn-
ing light stays on or turns on when
travelling:
– glowing steadily: means a fault in
the supply/ignition system which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust,
possible lack of performance, poor
handling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated
message is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however re-
quiring heavy effort or high speed from
the engine. Prolonged use of the ve-
hicle with the warning light on may
cause damages. Contact Fiat Deal-
ershipas soon as possible. The warn-
ing light goes off if the fault disappears,
but it is still stored by the system.
– flashing: indicates the possibility
of damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD
system” in this section). INJECTION SYSTEM

LOOKING AFTER
THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system efficiency checked
before the summer at a Fiat Deal-
ership.STEERING COLUMN
STALKS
LEFT-HAND STALK
The left-hand stalk operates most of
the external lights.
The external lights can only be
switched on when the ignition key is
at MAR. The instrument panel and
the heating/ventilation (or climate con-
trol system) controls and the cigar
lighter ring will come on with the ex-
ternal lights.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.

When using the boot,
make sure the load you
are carrying does not ex-
ceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical specifications”). Also
ensure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent
them being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply. Do not travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gas
could filter into the passenger
compartment.
If you are travelling in
areas where refuelling
can be difficult and you
want to carry a can of petrol, fol-
low the law in force. Use a ho-
mologated can and secure it ad-
equately. Even given these pre-
cautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
Do not use the key as a
handle to open the tail-
gate. You could damage it.
TAILGATE
Opening/closing the tailgate
To open the tailgate from the out-
side, turn the ignition key in lock
fig. 118and pull handle Ain the di-
rection of the arrow.
The opening of the boot is made eas-
ier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
IMPORTANTFit the key well into
the lock before turning it.
You will be able to open the tailgate
with the key only if you remove the
key from the lock after turning it by 45
degrees.
To close, lower the tailgate until the
lock clicks.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed, fit and turn
the key in one of the front door locks.IMPORTANTAdjust the height of
the dipped headlight beam when trav-
elling at night with a rather heavy load
in the boot (see “Headlights” in this
chapter).
Make sure the load does not exceed
the values shown in “Weights” para-
graph, “Technical specifications” chap-
ter for correct operation of the head-
light adjustment device.
Do not knock the tailgate
into objects on the roof
rack when you open it.

On certain versions the cap has a
mechanical lock to be opened using
the door key. PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment has been
the guiding principle in the design of
the Fiat Doblò right from the start.
The result is the use of materials and
creation of devices that can reduce or
considerably curtail harmful influences
on the environment.
The devices for curtailing petrol en-
gine emissions are the following:
– a three-way catalytic converter;
– Lambda sensors (oxygen sensors);
– a fuel evaporation system. Do not put naked flames
or lighted cigarettes near
the fuel filler hole as there
is a danger of fire. Do not bend
too close to the hole either so as
not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
IMPORTANTIf required, replace
the fuel cap with another genuine cap
to avoid affecting the efficiency of the
fuel vapour recovery system.
The devices for curtailing diesel en-
gine emissions are:
– an oxidising catalytic converter;
– an exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.).
– diesel particulate filter (DPF)
– Lambda probes (where provided).
Consequently, the Fiat Doblò is ready
to travel well ahead of the most strin-
gent international pollution control
standards.
